With Phoenix experiencing record-breaking rainfall and widespread flood warnings from the National Weather Service, many Arizona drivers are now dealing with the aftermath. From muddy streets to debris-filled puddles, local roads have taken a hit—and so have the vehicles that travel them. If your car endured the recent storm, now is the time to invest in a deep professional clean before long-term damage sets in.
Why Storms Are So Hard on Vehicles
Arizona isn’t exactly known for rainy seasons, so when a major storm rolls through, it creates the perfect storm (literally) for vehicle wear and tear. Floodwaters are full of contaminants—dirt, oil, chemicals—that cling to your paint, undercarriage, and even interior components. If not properly cleaned, these substances can lead to corrosion, odors, mildew, and stains that lower your vehicle’s value and compromise its condition.
Key Areas to Address After a Flood
- Undercarriage: Dirt and debris accumulate in hard-to-reach spots, leading to rust and deterioration over time.
- Paint and Panels: Prolonged exposure to contaminated water can etch paint and dull your car’s finish.
- Interior Carpets and Seats: Moisture trapped in fabric leads to mildew, bacteria growth, and unpleasant smells.
- Engine Bay: Mud and water in your engine compartment can affect performance and increase wear on belts and components.
Why a DIY Wash Won’t Cut It
While a quick rinse in the driveway might remove surface dirt, it won’t address the full spectrum of storm-related damage. Flood water can seep into vents, lodge in wheel wells, and stain your interior. Without industrial-grade tools and products, you’re only masking the problem—setting your vehicle up for issues down the road.
